In contempt of the court or something;) My bad. English is not my native language, but I guess most people on this forum will better understand my poorly written English compared to my somewhat better written Norwegian;)

So Doctor N.O.T. is he a healthy dog, not a sick one then?

I am glad to hear even oscar the grouch is not so skeptical of Evans potential. Seems the consensus here is positive. I will watch him more closely in the future!

Lunde, I too would love to see Paddon in a WRC on tarmac. 8th in Spain on his world rally car debut last year remember.

aren't the day 1 full highlights suppose to begin now?

It shuts down for me all the time and you have to restart it , which is quite annoying when you miss half of the drivers.

I agree with You kirungi okwogera, Camilli very strong, also Reidemann.
Sordo has been hampered by a bad starting position, but will come on very strong (and proves that the Hyundai is fast;))

Bouffier:
Regarding Bouffier I dont think its fair to expect more.
Firstly: A private car now is different to what it was before. See Pontus Tideman in Sweden in 2013. Se Bouffier in MC. Or what about Mads in a private Ford compared to a factory spec. A private Ford is only marginally slower than a factory one.
Monte is a specialist event, and Bouffier is a specialist. And the typicall tarmac rallies he has done before are very different to Germany.
Bouffier has talent, but Germany is very difficult for the drivers that dont fully understand weight management. First pass on a dry road You can perform okay, but You will loose time in the hairpins (and it doesnt help having the wrong gearing), but second passes, or stages with mud, they take no prisoners.
Hes chanses would be better in rallies like Corsica or Catalunya etc.
One guy I would really like to see in a Hyundai on tarmac is actually Paddon. He would struggle in germany to, but tarmac testing footage was more impressive than the gravel tests.

Evans:
I agree with You regarding Evans. He has not proved him self worthy of his current position, and should up his game. But how, if he dont know how?
Mr Wilson often have a three year plan for Young drivers, and a lot can of cource happen in three years, but absolutly not impressive so far - except for one thing. In the interview after the Power Stage in Portugal he said something that gave me a glimmer of hope in regards to what he needs to work on, but so far, not so good. Sorry... And the test before Germany, ouch...
I am actualy impressed of Evans speed compared to the testing footage, and the fact that he is still on the road. I would have predicted him understeering off already, so that is positive in my mind:)

From Bouffier should be expected much more on tarmac.... and he is in factory car I believe. But his performance seem to reflect his current situation "in the middle of nowhere".

From Evans I personally expect much more next year when he should begin to fight for something, now he is learning the Rallies as he says many times, so we should just wait and see.

Quite odd Ogier to make major mistakes in Germany 2 consecutive years, I guess this Rally doesn't suit him well.

Weather forecast for Saturday:

Light rain early... then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon.

High 63F. Winds WSW at 10 to 15 mph.

Chance of rain 70%.

Evans cannot be judged this year... this performance in germany could be very well be a fluke and he can follow the wilson/warmbold road of no development at all and perish when his dads money end.

That is why i said he must build on this performance... he must use this as a standard and move on with small steps... if he manages to develop it will be good for him and the sport if he doesn't he will join a very very long list.

I wonder if WRC will show any footage of Ogier off...

There is a new app in Android, if you still have the old one. Maybe this one works for you. For me it works fine
